Answer

Domain: $[-2,\infty)$ Range: $[0,\infty)$

Work Step by Step

The given function is a square root function: $F(x)=\sqrt {5x+10}$ Because the square root function is defined when the radicand is greater or equal zero, we have: $5x+10\geq0$ $5x\geq-10$ $x\geq-2$ which makes the domain $[-2,\infty)$. Because the square root of a number is greater or equal zero, the range is $[0,\infty)$.
